And TamarH3212went[H8799] H3427and dwelt[H8799] H1in her father'sH1004house. 12 H7235And in process[H8799] H3117of timeH1323the daughterH7770of ShuahH3063Judah'sH802wifeH4191died[H8799] H3063; and JudahH5162was comforted[H8735] H5927, and went up[H8799] H1494unto his sheepshearers[H8802] H6629 H8553to TimnathH7453, he and his friendH2437HirahH5726the Adullamite. 13 H5046And it was told[H8714] H8559TamarH559, saying[H8800] H2524, Behold thy father in lawH5927goeth up[H8802] H8553to TimnathH1494to shear[H8800] H6629his sheep. 14 H5493And she putH491her widow'sH899garmentsH5493off[H8686] H3680from her, and covered her[H8762] H6809with a vailH5968, and wrapped herself[H8691] H3427, and sat in[H8799] H5869an openH6607placeH1870, which is by the wayH8553to TimnathH7200; for she saw[H8804] H7956that ShelahH1431was grown[H8804] H5414, and she was not given[H8738] H802unto him to wife. 15 H3063When JudahH7200saw her[H8799] H2803, he thought[H8799] H2181her to be an harlot[H8802] H3680; because she had covered[H8765] H6440her face. 16 H5186And he turned[H8799] H1870unto her by the wayH559, and said[H8799] H3051, Go to[H8798] H935, I pray thee, let me come in[H8799] H3045unto thee; (for he knew[H8804] H3618not that she was his daughter in lawH559.) And she said[H8799] H5414, What wilt thou give[H8799] H935me, that thou mayest come in[H8799] unto me? 17 H559And he said[H8799] H7971, I will send[H8762] H5795thee a kidH1423 H6629from the flockH559. And she said[H8799] H5414, Wilt thou give[H8799] H6162me a pledgeH7971, till thou send[H8800] it ? 18 H559And he said[H8799] H834, WhatH6162pledgeH5414shall I give[H8799] H559thee? And she said[H8799] H2368, Thy signetH6616, and thy braceletsH4294, and thy staffH3027that is in thine handH5414. And he gave[H8799] H935it her, and came in[H8799] H2029unto her, and she conceived[H8799] by him. 19 H6965And she arose[H8799] H3212, and went away[H8799] H5493, and laid by[H8686] H6809her vailH3847from her, and put on[H8799] H899the garmentsH491of her widowhood. 20 H3063And JudahH7971sent[H8799] H1423the kidH5795 H3027by the handH7453of his friendH5726the AdullamiteH3947, to receive[H8800] H6162his pledgeH802from the woman'sH3027handH4672: but he found her[H8804] not. 21 H7592Then he asked[H8799] H582the menH4725of that placeH559, saying[H8800] H6948, Where is the harlotH5869, that was openlyH1870by the way sideH559? And they said[H8799] H6948, There was no harlotH2088in this place . 22 H7725And he returned[H8799] H3063to JudahH559, and said[H8799] H3808, I cannotH4672find[H8804] H582her; and also the menH4725of the placeH559said[H8804] H6948, that there was no harlot in this place . 23 H3063And JudahH559said[H8799] H3947, Let her take[H8799] H937it to her, lest we be shamedH7971: behold, I sent[H8804] H1423this kidH4672, and thou hast not found[H8804] her. 24 H7969And it came to pass about threeH2320monthsH5046after, that it was told[H8714] H3063JudahH559, saying[H8800] H8559, TamarH3618thy daughter in lawH2181hath played the harlot[H8804] H2030; and also, behold, she is with childH2183by whoredomH3063. And JudahH559said[H8799] H3318, Bring her forth[H8685] H8313, and let her be burnt[H8735] . 25 H3318When she was brought forth[H8716] H7971, she sent[H8804] H2524to her father in lawH559, saying[H8800] H376, By the manH2030, whose these are, am I with childH559: and she said[H8799] H5234, Discern[H8685] H2858, I pray thee, whose are these, the signetH6616, and braceletsH4294, and staff. 26 H3063And JudahH5234acknowledged[H8686] H559them, and said[H8799] H6663, She hath been more righteous[H8804] H5414than I; because that I gave[H8804] H7956her not to ShelahH1121my sonH3045. And he knew her[H8800] H3254again[H8804] no more. 27 H6256And it came to pass in the timeH3205of her travail[H8800] H8380, that, behold, twinsH990were in her womb. 28 H3205And it came to pass, when she travailed[H8800] H5414, that the one put out[H8799] H3027his handH3205: and the midwife[H8764] H3947took[H8799] H7194and bound[H8799] H3027upon his handH8144a scarlet threadH559, saying[H8800] H3318, This came out[H8804] H7223first. 29 H7725And it came to pass, as he drew back[H8688] H3027his handH251, that, behold, his brotherH3318came out[H8804] H559: and she said[H8799] H6555, How hast thou broken forth[H8804] H6556? this breachH8034be upon thee: therefore his nameH7121was called[H8799] H6557Pharez. 30 H310And afterwardH3318came out[H8804] H251his brotherH8144, that had the scarlet threadH3027upon his handH8034: and his nameH7121was called[H8799] H2226Zarah. |
